Mystery Bible

Jethro counsels Moses to teach the law, to appoint lesser judges, and to delegate power to them. In this episode, we look at Jethro, who counsels Moses to teach the law, to appoint lesser judges, and to delegate power to them. After watching how Moses dealt with the people of Israel Jethro offered him some counsel Exodus 18:18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. Moses agreed and implemented it. Exodus 18: 21-24 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, man of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. 23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. 24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
